Hey,
I'm owner of that "dat drop" setup. Registered here because saw lots of reblogs in my tumblr.
Had 58cm frame 3 years ago and broke it. Had to choose from 56 and 58 frame available at the workshop i was in. I've recieved nitto jag for that time and looked for few hours for different setups. 56 was better because i like compact frames. 58x56 would fit me better, but it was not somewhere around for that moment. I'm riding it for 3 years already, had alu-frameset (56cm too) for a year but changed for soviet steel back. Done more than 500km in two days. I ride on the tops or on "hoods" most of the time. Using drops only for sprints, uphills or fast downhills where aerodynamics are needed.
That photo from the trainstarion is made for fun, i'm not riding like that in drops.
Cheers.
